scubafool:I Maybe my D ring is located higher than yours, I don't know. Plus, having it clipped off means that I always know exactly where it is when I or another diver is not breathing it.
I could do that I think but I don't see the reson. I have done all kinds of things with the reg parked under my chin and it is very easy to get it back in my mouth. Now, having said this I have not had the honor of diving in a cave yet. I am a wreck diver. I have not been in the kind of curents that you guys have to put up with. I will take cave in a few years. I will say that it must be nice to realy stage your stage bottle
scubafool:I have always routed it between the wing and my body.
I route my hose the same way you do. I have never had a problem with a S-drill.
